Deep Darkness
Chapter 2
"What the heck is so funny Riku?" Sora demanded.
"Nothing. I'm just remembering what your mom said to you when you got back," Riku replied.
"Oh ya....."
---FLASHBACK---
Sora, Riku and Kairi were sailing back to the main island of the archipelago that is the Destiny Islands after bidding farewell to the King, Donald and Goofy
"I wonder what our parents will say. They haven't seen us in two years," Sora said.
"Ya. I know what you mean. They were probably worried about us," Riku replied.
"Well it can't be any worse than fighting swarms of Heartless, can it?" Sora asked nervously.
"Hopefully not."
When they finally got back to the mainland, they headed in the direction of Sora's house. But when they arrived they were greeted by a frantic voice
"Sora!"
"Huh? Who was that?" Sora asked, looking around for the source of the voice. He then spotted his mother running out of the house. "Uh-oh." was all he could say.
"Sora! Where on earth have you been for the past two years! I thought you died in that storm we had! You had me worried sick!"
"Umm... Sorry?" Sora replied, looking to Riku and Kairi for help, but all they could do was laugh.
"We'll see you later Sora," Kairi said before walking away.
"Ya, later," Riku said, heading in the opposite direction.
"Guys!" Sora yelled after them.
---END FLASHBACK---
"That was not fun you know. She wouldn't stop saying 'I was so worried' for four hours. It was driving me insane!" Sora stated.
"Well at least you didn't get yelled at," Riku said glumly.
"Oh, I forgot how strict your parents are. Sorry."
"Don't worry about it. And if they don't let me go with you, I'll just sneak out. You probably wouldn't make it very far without me any way."
"Oh thanks." And the two best friends burst out laughing.

The day Donald and Goofy would be arriving was coming quickly. It was now only one day away. Luckily all of their parents had allowed them to go on this journey. Kairi's father needed a lot of persuading, but finally gave in when both Sora and Riku promised to protect her with their lives.
For the last few days, Kairi has been training, had has made a lot of progress.
"Kairi, you've gotten really good!" exclaimed Sora after blocking one of her slashes.
"Thanks Sora, I can't be holding you and Riku back now can I?" Kairi said while evading a Slapshot attack from him.
"I guess not. How about we call it a day?" Sora asked, dodging a horizontal slash.
"Sure. Sounds good," She said.
They both dismissed their Keyblades and sat down on the shoreline. Kairi then rested her head on Sora's shoulder. Sora just looked at her and grinned to himself, remembering the day after he got back.
---FLASHBACK---
It was around noon, and Sora had decided to go to the island that the three of them played at as kids. He just wondered around, looking at all the familiar sights, and relishing the fact that he was home. Finally he was home. And with his friends. He then decided to head toward the Secret Place he and Riku had found. When he got there, he looked around at all the cave drawings, and let his fingers slide against the walls of the small cavern. When he got to the one that him and Kairi had drawn of each other, he noticed something different. He knew he drew him giving a paopu fruit to her, but it now also showed her giving one to him. 'Did she draw that?' He thought to himself. He then had a feeling that he wasn't alone. When he turned around, ready to summon his Keyblade, he saw that it was just Kairi.
"Hi Sora," she said, "Did I startle you?"
"Ya, a little," he replied. "Did you draw that?" he asked, pointing at the picture.
"Yes. I was going to show you sometime, but I guess you found it before I had a chance to."
"Sorry," he said, looking away. When he looked back up, she had moved closer to him. He could smell her strawberry scented shampoo from where he was standing.
"I thought it was sweet of you to draw yourself giving me a paopu," she said, "it let me know that my feelings for you were returned."
"I've always liked you Kairi, it just took me a while to realize it," he replied.
Their faces were now a only an inch away. Sora decided to take a chance, and closed his and leaned in to finally kiss the girl he loved, and...
"There you two are!" Riku's voice echoed through the cavern.
Sora and Kairi quickly backed away from each other and looked at Riku, both their faces a deep crimson.
"I thought we were going to go to the new restaurant in town?" he said, pretending not to notice the intense blushes on his two best friends faces, but laughing on the inside, "come on, lets go."
"Ok," Kairi said, "Let's go Sora."
"Ok," Sora grumbled, silently cursing Riku for ruining that moment for him.
---END FLASHBACK---
'No need to rush it' Sora thought to himself as he put his arm around Kairi. She looked like she was about to fall asleep.
"Hey!" Riku's called to them, "Do you guys want to camp out here tonight?"
"Sure," Sora called back, "Do you have tents?"
"Ya of course I do. I can't very well rely on you to remember things now can I?" Riku retorted, with a small smirk on his face.
"I can too remember things!" Sora said, "Lets just get the tents set up."
"I'll go get the food," Kairi said before running back to her boat and sailing for the mainland.
"Hey Sora, I know you aren't excited about Kairi coming along this time, but you did promise her that you and her would be together all the time," Riku said.
"Ya I know, but I'm still going to worry about her getting hurt. Some of the things I fought, when they hit you, you know they did cause it hurts."
"Well its a good thing you taught her a lot of defensive magic then."
"Ya I suppose. We should probably start a fire so we can cook whatever Kairi brings back to eat."
"Ya we should," Riku said before running off to get some wood for the fire. Sora just continued to set up the three tents Riku had brought.
When Kairi returned, they ate a large dinner of hotdogs. After the had finished dinner, they cooked marshmellows over the fire and Sora and Riku told stories of their adventures to Kairi. Soon they each said goodnight and turned into their seperate tents and fell asleep, each looking forward to the adventure that awaited them in the morning.
A/N: Sorry if the ending seemed a little rushed, but its 1:30 in the morning and I'm going to crash soon. So please review and also tell me what you think of the romantic scene. Thank you for reading.
